A week has tragically culminated in sorrow after a woman, Julie Savoy, 53, succumbed to her injuries from a hit-and-run incident in Nashville. The accident, which took place at the intersection of South 5th Street/Spring Street and Main Street on July 8, involved a black Hyundai Elantra that, reportedly stolen, struck Savoy while she was on the concrete median. Despite being rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Savoy did not survive, passing away from her injuries. The Nashville Police Department confirmed her death and is continuing its pursuit to find the individual responsible.
The search for the hit-and-run driver intensifies as the Nashville community reels from this devastating event. According to the Nashville.gov report, the vehicle involved was traveling northbound on South 5th Street, about to cross Main Street onto Spring Street, when Savoy was hit. The driver did not afford to stop and render aid, instead, choosing to flee the scene. The owner of the Hyundai Elantra later reported the vehicle as stolen, and it has since been recovered in Madison. The tragedy has now pushed local authorities to urgently appeal for witnesses as they work to identify the person behind the wheel.
